"A survey of the Korean-American artist's vital, visionary and varied career. From his earliest work as a composer/performance artist in the '60s neo-Dada Fluxus movement in Europe and the Happening scene in New York, to his present-day multiscreen television installations, whimsical robots, singular television sculptures and global satellite productions, Paik has always been at the forefront in employing technology to serve creative exp ..."
"A giant of twentieth-century art, Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) stands beside Picasso and Matisse as an artist who has defined the way our century is perceived, and alongside them as one of the few modern artists who have created sculpture, paintings and drawings with equal mastery. This lavishly illustrated book accompanies a major retrospective of Giacometti's work at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. The two ..."
"Robert Mapplethorpe’s Calla Lily. Andy Warhol’s familiar pop-art panels filled with poppies. David LaChapelle’s overblown baroque bouquets that upend the conventions of still-life composition. We’re accustomed to flowers and mushrooms as seemingly trite decorative motifs, but they have also long been explored as complex subjects by some of the most radical and inventive contemporary artists.

Every sculpture made on the assumption that space exists is wrong, there is only the illusion of space." This fascinating statement serves as a conceptual underpinning for Hatje Cantz's new appraisal of the artist's mature work. Giacometti's emaciated sculptures have long been seen as symbols of a newly anxious, frail humani ..."
"For decades, painter Alex Katz has split his time between New York and Maine, and the two very different locales have left their marks on his work. This collection, drawing on the large collection of Katz’s paintings held by the Colby College Museum of Art, is the first to highlight the distinctions between the works created in each place.After attending the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine in 1949, Katz bought a stud ..."
"The dominant theme of Kabakov's oeuvre is the critical re-appropriation of one's own memories and recollections--a Proustian exercise in remembering that is particularly relevant to Kabakov's existence as an unofficial artist during the last decades of the Soviet Union. His first large installation, "Ten Characters"(1988), which re-staged a Soviet group apartment filled with junk and miscellaneous objects left by its previous inhabitant ..."
"Alberto Giacometti's unsurpassed ability to inscribe his figures into a unique place and time of their own is the central theme of this volume, whose unusual design sets new standards for depicting these distinctive features."
